"This was delicious. I used Patak's Madras curry paste (which is the cumin and chilli one referred to in the ingredients) and was hoping it wouldn't be too hot. It turned out to be perfect and even with the red chilli it had a lovely kick without too much heat. Cauliflower is one of the best things you can put in a curry as it goes beautifully with spicy flavours. Will definitely make again."

"This was lovely. I used squash, courgette, onion and chantenay carrots. Even though I'd sliced the carrots lengthways, they were still a little too firm, so it's probably a good idea to keep any pieces of carrot fairly small. The courgettes were really soft, so they probably would have been ok to add at the same time as the apple and stock! Although various combinations of veg would work with this, it is worth considering cooking times and not necessarily putting everything in the pan at the start. I didn't have a bramley apple but the braeburn I used was fine. The herbs and lemon gave the pork a really nice flavour. As other reviewers has mentioned the juices being a little bland, I decanted them into a jug and stirred in a teaspoon of pork gravy granules. This made it seem a bit more like a 'gravy' and tasted great. I'd definitely make this again."

"Great recipe. Really easy and the beans were very tasty. Only problem was that the half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper made the wedges way too hot! Even my husband, who loves spicy food, said his mouth was burning a little too much! Suggesting that cayenne, chilli powder and paprika are interchangeable is a bit misleading as they aren't of equal heat. I will definitely make this again, but be a bit more cautious with the spices!!"

"I was looking for a potato side dish to serve with a chicken and sausage one-pan meal. I actually ended up adapting this by using onion instead of leeks and I omitted the bacon. I was really impressed at how easy and delicious it was so I will probably have a go at the official version too!"
